I was just wondering why does it seem that the US is always the last country to get the major updates... It seems like damn near everyone and their kids have smartphones here so I thought this would be the biggest if not than one of the biggest market... Just a question as I wait lol

Because, Merica'
Just kidding, Mainly because the "Carriers" have to add their bloat to the software. Sometimes I wish I lived in the UK.

Cloudy G3 supports all variants, also some people have had no problems flashing other roms, just flash a D850 kernel, i came from CM11 to miui, but its didnt have the right kernel, all it did was just black screen, i could go into recovery no problem, im probably going to download the D855 lollipop and D850 kernel today

I remember on the S4 for a very brief stint with an AOSP ROM you could switch without having to reboot.... In fact, there was actually a quick setting toggle for it lol. Anyway to do this on a TouchWiz ROM? Thanks in advance!
Sent from a Galaxy 5 light years away
I thought that was based on the kernel and how the ROM interfaces with it. It shouldnt benecessary to reboot, but if the ROMs infrastructure makes it think that its necessary, then it will. Some tweaking of a TW ROM should make it possible, however the RODT ROM im currently running is asking to reboot also

I've tried flashing both 22nd and 23rd ROMs for the kltevzw on my Developer Edition with TWRP 2.8.0.1 but I get and error it says "This package is for device: kltevzw ; this device is klte FAILED" Is it because I've had cm11 klte installed all this time and now my phone this ks it is klte. Or could it be because TWRP doesn't flash Verizon Roms but I have flashed TW Roms from the Unified Section. Maybe TWRP is not fully compatible with the Verizon Developer Edition.
Would these ROMs brick a retail version?

I have a dev edition, by why would you guys even bother to flash cyonogenmod on this phone when you know you're gonna get a million bugs that won't get fixed and I bet a million dollars you're all going to upgrade phones before they fix them. Waist of this precious time we have on earth

I read a few article stating the LG g3 will be releasing lollipop before the year is over... It also stated that it would be the LG version of lollipop and then att will have to test and change it to their version and that can take a few months... So my question is if we will be able to flash the universal version before att get their hands on it or will we have to wait till att modifies it for the D850

Short answer, no one knows. We don't even have aosp Roms yet so to think about even speculate on a time frame for an unreleased android version is stupid. We'll get it at some point. Just be happy we've finally got roms

I guess u must have not fully understood the question... I was not asking for a time frame or when will we have lollipop... The question was if it is possible to take the LG update that they send to unlocked carrier phones and modify it for our att phone... Or will we have to wait for an att update and modify that...

Short answer: an int'l version will be ported before you see an official ATT release.

Will rooting with stump make it impossible to accept an ota upgrade when lollipop is released? I remember with my galaxy nexus, it was changing the bootloader that did that.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Rumor has it that it will be harder to get around the bootloader situation with L. My suggestion is to NOT take the ota and just flash what ever L Rom is ported if you want to keep root. At least until the devs figure out the new features on android L.
Plus, being on AT&T, we wouldn't see an ota until well after everyone else Lmao.

Cm12!!!
I have loaded CM12 on my "burner" G3 a few times (updating every night.) It is quite flaky, but it is good to see progress being made. RIght now the issue with CM12 is that one of the cores gets stuck at 100% (some say due to an NFC issue) and sucks your battery dry.
Any Developers or people who's working or done with the lollipop 5.0 rom for infuse? I just want to experience the new material design.
They have said once beanstalk is ported they'd give it a go.

I'm working on it, could be interesting if we can use this kernel on our device
https://github.com/hak86/android_kernel_samsung_aries
since infuse has 2.6 kernel and required a lot of changes to make lollipop
I am unsure about specs but you might visit the Samsung Galaxy player 4.0 and 5.0 forums, they are at least same gen devices and I saw lollipop is built on it.

Is there any progress on Lollipop for the Infuse? Still using mine. Thanks.
Lollipop is a ram eater. I tried it on the razrm and it didn't go well. Wound up reverting to kitkat. I'm sorry but at some point even if you can, you shouldn't and I think all devs are realizing this.

I think people should just run the latest that's available, or get a new phone. A Moto E is 3 times the phone the Infuse is, and can be had for $30 if you buy it at the right time. Plus it runs Lollipop out of the box. Methinks trying to run 5.0 on a 4 yr old device is near impossible.

Yes you need to install this firmware with odin. Companies do that to get money by making specific roms for specific carriers, the carriers get promoted and earn more money. Well i dont know much about strapbootloader but i have used multirom manager on my moto g to boot multiple roms and yes if strap bootloader allows to install custom roms than you can install Stock rom as primary and cm11 as secondary.
